The world's fattest scarf is complete

OK, so estimation is not my strong point! I started out at about half this width, but to my eye it just didn't look big  enough so kept casting on, and on, and on until I *thought* it was fine. What do I know? As a result I now am the proud owner of the World's Fattest Scarf, might have to put a call into the Guinness Book of Records people. I'm toying with folding it in half and sewing it together but it might be too chunky. Chunky is in vogue right now, maybe I can be cutting edge and start a new super-ultra-chunky trend? I've now started another scarf in the same type of fringed wool, in a mixed black, burgandy and pink. Only this time it's about half the width, I'm not making that mistake again! If this one doesn't cut it as a scarf, it would work as a head rest/cushion protector for the couch! Matches perfectly! Here it is:

A WIP pic and some knitting!

Here's a progress pic of my 3 Christmas bears as of the17th of April:

I've put my stitching aside for the moment to work on a knitted scarf. I found some pretty "fuzzy" wool for 75 cents a ball (at The Reject Shop for you Aussie ladies who might be interested) so decided to make a scarf. I recently bought a new cardigan/jacket thingy in a bone colour, and some camel coloured boots so a brown/cream scarf will tie in well with those. I started this last night, after reading my instructions on how to cast on. I tried knitting as a kid, but didn't go on with it. I had to get my mum to cast on and cast off, as I could purely knit in basic rows. Thanks to the wonder of the internet, I've since found simple casting on instructions and can recall how to knit. The problem is I don't have casting off instructions, LOL. Not sure how I finished the other scarf I made a few years back. I'm hoping this one is a little better as the other one starts out fat, becomes thinner, gets fatter in parts......not my best crafting effort :-)
Anyway, here's the pic, what do you think? I love the fact it's so fuzzy you don't actually see the knitting, probably a good thing considering my last effort at making a scarf :-(
